West Point, NY Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Some of us apparently have to turn on the heat to have pancakes made for us,priorities Never saw a home thermometer that read "comfort range" anywhere near 57 degrees. Universally it's 68-72. For at most, an extra 50 bucks this month, I will gladly watch football in shorts and a t-shirt. Give up some beer before you make your family bundle up in the house.....that would by MY priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep mine right at 60F...and that's plenty warm for shorts and a t-shirt watching football. I'd use the AC if it was 68-72 in my house, lol. All summer I leave all the sliders and windows open until I can get that temp down into the low 60s at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I was just wondering if someone fat-fingered their units here... Tropical Storms simply do not produce Category 5 wind gusts, **unless** said was measured in a meso/TOR, but even then ... land falling TC's that produce twister swarms ..those are usually in the E-OF 0 - 2 range (which Bermuda does not qualify as a land falling event, anyway). So, logic makes that "155 mile per hour..." statement hugely suspect to put it mildly. hey can you check it out, I can't see it because of java, but check the ASOS and let me know, it's the one at point something,http://199.172.239.3/gemamet/index.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Crystal clear skies now and 54/29....not a bad way to run a long holiday weekend. Classic late-fall scenes out there, colorful leaves (mostly on the ground lol), pumpkins on the stoops, wood-fires going in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 What about all the dog poop? Picked up or Used as fertilizer?...They are little dogs, their poops combined don't equal 1 large dog, together they weigh 63 lbs, but we clean the yard twice a day and it's disposed in the woods in the fire pit ash pile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Point, NY Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 meh,have a question,what's your stand on AGW. Can't remember the last time I drank beer on Sunday during the day. By the way Windows open, it gorgeous out Its 60 and nice in the sun. 60 in the house is not comfortable. And no, I don't believe a trace element that comes out of our nose caused the earth to warm. When they are growing grapes all over the lush fields of Greenland as the Vikings documented in 1200, maybe I'll get concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Point, NY Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I don't drink beer at all, but my point is there are plenty of other things to modify in the budget before you worry about not being comfortable in your home. This time of year, the heat does not kick on enough to jack up the bill much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yard was pretty rugged each spring when the snowpack left. Shovel and 5-gallon bucket time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
